The undeviating honesty with j
which President Boosevelt assails |
every evil, and the candor with I
which he points out to the public j
his aims and purposes is a constant !
source of amazement, and sometime- j
necessary to conceal his purposes and ;
deceive the people with evasions and j
platitudes. And yet, the heartiness!
with which the American people j
stand ready to support the President j
in his every policy, the'promptness j
with which theyexpouse the reforms !
he j imposes and the uuaniity with ,
which they voted for him last Nov- j
ember is sufficient to demonstrate |
that the old methods are obsolete and !
the new are worthy of the emulation i
of every man in public life.
The bazaar held last Friday on tin 1
poroli of the '•lngham Man -ion" foi j
the benefit of the Episcopal Sunday j
School was a success in every respect.

Carpenter, Cornelia Eckerson and I
Donald Ingham not only planned j
the entire a Hair but made the articles, j
Lemonade, cake, candy and fancy !
articles of every size, shape and col-1

a neat little sum of money and was it'
social success.
The Bloomsburg Press is authori
ty for the statement that the contem
plated improvements in the Amer
ican Car tV Foundry Company's
plant at Berwick will not be made.
The company wanted a forty acre
plot of farm land adjoining the pres
ent site and the owners have plae; d j
the price at $1,200 per acre. The j
additions contemplated would have!
made the Berwick plant the most j
elaborate car shops in the world. It
was intended to double the capacity ,
of the wooilen car part of the plant
so as to turn out. forty cars a day I
More than a thousand extra hands i
would have been needed. It would j
pay Berwick to buy a site and do
nate it to the company.

Ezr.t Noll, a fanner of Berks coun-1
ty, through a small experiment, has J
found out what has puz/.led agri-|
cultiirists for years. Mr. Noll be-
Hoves that he has a sure and profit- j
able method of killing Canada thist-1
les. One of his fields has been tilled i
with the undesirable plant and lie
was about letting it goto ruin last j
year when, knowing that artichokes
grow almost anywhere, he planted
four rows of them in the licld. ln
-011 removing the artichokes he was
surprised not only to lind his crop
amounted to eight bushels, but that I
all of the thistle roots in those four
rows had decayed. Mr. Noll will
now plant more than an acre of the
Held in artichokes, lie is choosing
the part most densely covered with
the thistles. Noll says that while
artichokes are also a pest if they once
gel a start, he will run the risk, as he
will sell the product in the Beading
market at (!0 cents n bushel.
That the State of Pennsylvania
cannot collect a tax upon Pennsyl
vania coal after it is shipped was de
rided on Monday by the supreme
court of the I'nited Stales. The de- j
I rision was rendered in tne case ol the!
! Delaware, Lackawanna A- Western
I Railroad Company vs. the Common- j
i wealth of Pennsylvania, whirh grew j
| out of an attempt on the part of the j
j state authorities to levy a tax of live i
j mills on the value of coal mined bv
the company in the state and held
in Buffalo, Chicago and other cities I
outside of Pennsylvania. The su
preme court of the state upheld the
tax, but that devision was reversed
by this action. The opinion was
handed down by Justice Peck ham.
Some heartless man has sued Bus
sel Sage for SBOO. As this is more
than Uncle itussel has spent on his
wardrobe in the past forty years, it
looks like persecution of the rich.
A forceful reminder of approaching
Memorial Day appears in the statis
tics of the (fraud Army of the Re
public, Department of Pennsylvania,
which show that 1,000 veterans of
the Civil War die in this State dur
ing the year between each Memorial
day. There is a slight but steady
increase in the number of "these
• *
deaths annually, it is estimated
that one hundred veterans die daily j
in the United States.
A call was recently issued from i
the quartermaster's department, |
United States Army, for proposals!
for furnishing the government with [
10,000 white headstones. Since ISS. r >
when 7,">00 stones were bought, the
number has steadily grown larger.
List year I 1,000 wore ordered.
i
The headstones are sent free to all :
the Grand Army posts, camps of
Spanish War veterans and national
cemeteries in the country to mark
graves of men who served the nation
in war. The cost of the stones to the
government at wholesale is bleach.
The following programme will be
i rendered by the Vested Choir at the
I Memorial service next Sunday after-1
| noon:
I Processional, 'We March to Victory'. |
I Anthem, 'Holy War'.
I lymn''Soldiers of Christ arise'. j
Anthem, 'Soldiers of the Cross'.
Hymn, 'Stand up for Jesus'.

! services at the Court House at the

In answer to the item in the Sulli
van Star of May 11th. about the tru
ant husband and searching wife, tin
writer thinks that it deserves the
applause of the public as it certainly
was a fine piece of fiction and the
composers are quite capable of com
peting with A. Conan Doyle, or llall
Standish.
The writer wishes to thank them
for giving him credit forever being
human, for if he had starved her.
or s"iit her to an insane asylum h<
might have been called inhuman
instead. We also think that tin
word vulture wrongly applied, as
they feed on the dead only.
Now as to his delicate wife, in
less tnan six months after their mar.
| rige she left th >pi ice pr >vid ■ 1 for
! her, unknown to her husband while
he was visiting a sick slater, and
I when he returned found her gone,
she gave no reasons forgoing away
I but soon afterward applied for a
divorce but having no sutli aeut rea
sons, her attorneys wrote to him
asking him for evidence. Before
they received an answer they came
; to see him and asked him to support
! her. He iqade two conditional oil
ers which were refused. She told
that she expected to get money,
having heard he had a business at
that place and thought he could pay
well to Inyo her go away and kiep
still.
